Chapter Sixteen: Separation
After a night's rest, Yuanxi hurried to Qinghe Farm again early in the morning. The white crystal had been harvested smoothly, and now it was time for delivery. This stage is the most exciting moment for every farm owner. So much hard work over such a long period of time has all been leading up to this moment.
Especially with a big harvest like Wang Qingnian's, he is even more confident and has a solid foundation.
At this critical moment, Yuanxi naturally did not leave his side. Usually, the delivery route of White Crystal Stone is only two kinds: one is the internal purchase of Blue Island, which is more convenient and fast, and you can deliver goods at any time of the year, and the price of White Crystal Stone is also relatively stable, equivalent to about three credit points per kilogram. The 100-acre harvest was 40,000 kilograms, which could sell for 120,000 credit points.
The seeds of all crops are very cheap and negligible, the only hard work is this month's care, plus labor costs, picking fees, etc... After deducting these costs, the net profit is around 80,000 credit points.
This profit is really not low, the growth cycle of White Crystal Stone is one month, and with some care, it can produce up to ten seasons a year. This season alone is worth 800,000 credit points, making each season worth at least 80 million credit points. Whether it's wheat, rice, or livestock, just planting White Crystal Stones for two or three years can earn back the cost of a Qinghe Farm.
And that's just selling within Blue Island, if we can catch up with the Federation's cargo ships to collect the goods, the profit will triple! One kilogram can be sold for nine points, and this month's total profit will reach 240,000.
Unfortunately, the Federal Transport Vessel is notorious for its huge cargo holds and slow speed. As a touring vessel of the Milky Way galaxy, it can only come to Blue Island once a year, and even the month of arrival cannot be determined.
White crystal stone stored for a long time will also produce energy loss, yellowing and shrinkage of the head, so it is very difficult to accumulate one year's output.
Although profits are much lower, most still choose to sell within Blue Island.
However, when it comes to storing White Crystal Stones, Yuan Xi's heart moved slightly. He thought of his own package and wondered if it had a preservative function? Thinking so, he decided to go back and try tonight.
Wang Qingnian didn't catch up with the Federation's cargo ship this time, but he has always been easy-going. Twelve months a year, if every time he gets entangled in that one or half profit, it would be too annoying.
It's better to put it outside the plan and think that a monthly income of 80,000 is the basis, while the extra 160,000 is just an extra gain. Thinking this way makes one feel much better.
The delivery process is not complicated, just need to pay attention and follow up closely. The goods of Wang Qingnian's batch are all top-notch, so there is no need for classification, they are all sold at the same price, as long as the weight is calculated correctly, there will be no major issues.
After the delivery was completed, Yuanxi and Wang Qingnian did not argue over the issue of profit this time. Yuanxi suggested that Wang Qingnian take it away, and Wang Qingnian was pleased with Yuanxi's thoughtful words, so he took it away.
These busy days passed quickly, and half a month had already passed. In another half a month, Wang Xueqing would go to school for registration, Wang Qingnian calculated the date, these days should leave, and he also handed over what could be handed over to Yuanchuan, so he booked a ticket for departure three days later.
In this short month, the two families got along very well, especially Wang Qingnian and Yuan Xi, their feelings were exceptional. Wang Qingnian was a good-natured person with plans, handling things in a smooth and experienced manner, but actually he was quite particular about people, did things hastily, and sometimes when seeing stupid people doing slow things, he would easily lose his temper.
But in the past month, he had been with Yuan Xi and hadn't blushed once. Teaching students was inevitably a bit awkward, but teaching Yuan Xi, he only felt two words: refreshing.
The little boy often has a smile on his face, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it. He is diligent in learning and can summarize his own experiences and gains, from time to time making Wang Qingnian feel benefited greatly.
Everyone gets along harmoniously, but when it's time to part ways, it feels unpleasant in their hearts.
Yuanxi then said to Wang Qingnian: "Uncle, come to my home, I'll cook, let's have a good meal together!"
Wang Qingnian naturally didn't say another word and loudly said: "Good, good!"
Lin Su Yun also said: "Let's call Shang Shu, we're family, sitting together, not so formal. I and Shu get along well, last time we didn't even finish chatting."
Wang Qingnian's wife is a quiet and introverted person, rarely showing her face in public. Wang Qingnian used to want to take her out to socialize, but seeing that she was really not used to it, he gradually stopped. It's better for him to live comfortably himself, he didn't want to force her.
However, the last time she came to Yuanxi's house, she was in a good mood. Lin Suyun is very thoughtful in her dealings with others, and her words and actions make people feel comfortable. Therefore, when it was said that she would go to the Yuan family, Wang Qingnian's wife surprisingly nodded in agreement.
Yuanchuan has been busy with the farm these days and hasn't had time to cook some good dishes, now that he's free, he can't help but think about it.
Because he found that making different dishes has a degree of proficiency, so this time he made some different dishes. Also because he prepared in advance and understood the local ingredients better, the few dishes he made were exceptionally delicious.
The main course includes secret recipe sour and spicy fresh fish, roasted chestnut chicken wings, golden needle jade asparagus chicken liver, palace explosion potato shrimp balls, and finally a colorful five-color vegetarian stir-fry.
Three small dishes were also served, including carrot "silver teeth", pickled pepper chicken feet, and a spicy ghost flower peanut dish for Wang Qingnian and Yuan Yucheng to drink with.
Considering the three ladies, Yuanxi also carefully made a dish of red jujube and lily steamed pumpkin, a dish of red bean milk pudding, as well as a seasonal fruit salad made from fresh fruits produced in their own orchard.
Finally, it's a flavorful and aromatic fresh mushroom soup.
This table of dishes, Yuan Xi put his heart into it and also spent a lot of effort, of course, he also won the applause from everyone in the room, one by one rubbing their fists and palms, just waiting to sit down and eat.
After this busy period, Yuanxi's cooking skills unexpectedly rose by 12 points of proficiency, accumulating a total of 70 points. The upgrade was quite fast.
He looked at it with satisfaction, and this thing hooked him up. It really worked hard, and he always expected that after upgrading, he would be rewarded with something.
Needless to say, this meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guest. Lin Suyun instructed Yuanxi not to drink alcohol for a year, and now he looked like he really had some cravings, but with Lin Suyun staring at him, he just licked his tongue and dared not disobey.
Wang Qingnian and Yuan Yucheng drank a lot, the more they drank, the happier they became. The two of them sat together, inevitably engaging in another lively discussion. Yuan Xi smiled and accompanied them from the side, busy pouring tea and water, also making the two elders feel relieved and happy.
The three ladies finished their meal early, helped to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, sat together, chatted and teased Xiao Yuan Zhe, feeling very relaxed and not a bit constrained.
There is no banquet in this world that does not scatter, and even if people get along well, they will eventually part ways.
Wang Qingnian couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, and Yu Xi comforted him: "Uncle Wang, don't be sentimental, as long as we have the heart, we can always walk together again, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." After a pause, he said solemnly, "I'm still young, I'll definitely go out and take a walk, the galaxy is so vast, how can one be confined to this blue planet for a lifetime?"
After hearing this, Wang Qingnian was stunned at first, but then he savored the grand ambition hidden in these plain words. He looked at Yuan Xi, and although he had long known that this young man was not ordinary, at this moment he truly felt it deeply.
He was delighted in his heart, took a big gulp of wine and said loudly: "Good, good! Kid, remember your words."
Yuanyu closed his eyes and smiled: "Uncle Wang, I won't forget."
The Wang family left, and Yuanxi suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Su Yun: "Mom, where is the First Agricultural University of the Federation?"
Lin Su Yun glared at him: "You silly boy, don't you know that in Beijing?"
"Uh... Beijing Star... " Yuan Xi was stunned.
Lin Su Yun's thoughts were meticulous, seeing Yuan Xi like that, and then looking at Xiao Yuan Zhe who looked so similar to the Ye family, she suddenly understood a bit in her heart, but since Yuan Xi didn't say anything, she also didn't ask much.
Yuanyu then asked: "But isn't that wrong? They're going to Beijing by starship and it'll take eight months, how can they make the report on time?"
Yuan Cheng had a bit too much to drink, and was now drowsy and thinking of sleep. When he heard Yuan Xi's words, he suddenly laughed: "This silly child, Beijing is separated from Blue Star by an interstellar distance, even taking the high-speed spacecraft it would take at least ten days."
Yuan Xi was stunned: "How could this be? We... we sailed for eight months back then."
Yuanyu Cheng said, "That's different, we didn't have a set course at the time, and we forced our way into distorted space, I don't know how many circles we made inside before jumping out and landing in the outer space of Blue Star."
Yuanchuan only realized now, he had always thought that the journey from Blue Star to Beijing took a full eight months, so he was certain that he and Little Yuanzhe's other father would never meet again, naturally no one would fight with him for his son.
But at this moment, he realized that the distance was not as far as he had imagined, and suddenly the alarm sounded loudly.
But soon he calmed down again, the ten-day journey was indeed not short, this federation had countless habitable planets, and he could hide far away, no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to find him.
Unfortunately, Yuan Xi didn't know that the transport ship's maximum speed was only warp 4, while patrol ships and above had a top speed of warp 9, which was completely different in terms of speed...
Of course, he also didn't know that his whereabouts had actually been exposed long ago.
Wang Qingnian and his family left, so Yuanxi had to take over the entire farm by himself. Fortunately, he had learned a lot about the farm's operations in the past month, and he was also familiar with the long-term workers, which made it easier for him to manage the farm.
But even so, he was still very busy after taking over the farm, and the whole family moved into a small Western-style house on the farm, which made it more convenient to take care of things.
In a flurry of activity, two months have passed. The wheat and rice are ready to be harvested, and the batch of young gazelles has grown up.
Far away in Beijing, Wang Qingnian's family had already settled down. Wang Xueqing had been in school for a month and although she was an outsider, she was elegant and with Wang Qingnian's guidance, she got along well with others, thus quickly making one or two good friends, going to class together and leaving school together every day.
Wang Xueqing and her good friend Su Nian'er from the same department went to school together. Because she stayed up all night doing an experiment, Wang Xueqing fell asleep on the bus, but was woken up by Su Nian'er, and then got off the bus in a hurry.
Who knew that the car was again dazzled by the big sun, and her head was even more dizzy. Su Nian'er put down her mobile phone in the car and hurried back to pick it up, without taking care of her either.
Wang Xueqing walked a few steps in a daze, and bumped into someone with a thud. She quickly apologized, lifted her head, and after seeing the person's appearance, she was stunned.
At this time, Su Nian'er also rushed over. She also saw the face of the man opposite her and suddenly exclaimed: "Xue Qing, th-this... is that pretty child's father!"
Haha, haha 【You damn ball of yarn!】
